Version History /-----------------------------------------+*\------/* \-----------------------------------------+*/------\* =============================================================================== Version Final Submitted 25/3/03 At last! I have completed this walkthrough and have no wish to make any additions to it. No major updates whatsoever, however potentially outstanding the material to be added is. Anyway, I can't see how you can add anything to a FAQ for a game as simple as this. Version 0.7 Submitted 31/1/03 Okay, so maybe this isn't the final version. But cheer up! I have added a walkthrough for the Death Star mission. Version 0.6 Submitted 30/1/03 Been a while, eh? Sorry. But now I bring you a brand new update for 2003. I've updated some of the older information and added walkthroughs up to Level 7: Death Star. Hopefully the next update will be the final one. Version 0.55 Submitted 19/11/02 Hmmm... I haven't had _any_ emails concerning this game yet. I guess it's a lost cause to make it, ah, what the hell, I may as well "end what I have begun" to quote Yoda in Episode 5. OK, enough Star Wars babble - I've done another 1.5 levels for the game (5.5 down, 4.5 to go). Oh, and I hope you like the new ASCII art I've added (I know it doesn't look like it, but those lines at the head of each section are supposed to represent Luke's lightsabre - ah, forget it). Version 0.4 Submitted 11/11/02 First, I'd like to apologise for the amount of time I'm taking on this FAQ, but I've been more interested in my recently released GameCube TimeSplitter 2 FAQ, and haven't really had time to work on this. Anyway, this is only really a minor update - I've completed another mission walkthrough and added all level codes so that you can get there without my help if you want. I've also added an extra section (FAQs by me). Version 0.2 Initial Release (submitted 28/10/02) Completed FAQ up to and including Level 3: Sail Barge. Sorry I haven't done more, but I just want to get this FAQ released, and I'll add to it in due course (I've got about three FAQs on the go so I need to work on them too). =============================================================================== 3. Introduction /-----------------------------------------+*\------/* \-----------------------------------------+*/------\* =============================================================================== This game has been on the request list for a while and either people can't finish it or can't be bothered to write and FAQ for it, but whatever the reason I realised it was time to take action. Thus this FAQ was born! It's not the longest of guides (I've written longer in-depth FAQs!) but for all those who still haven't finished it, here is a guide for you... =============================================================================== 4. Basics /-----------------------------------------+*\------/* \-----------------------------------------+*/------\* =============================================================================== --a. Controls-- In case you rented it or something here are the controls for the game: Normal Controls --------------- A button: Jump. Double-tap to double-jump (you can hurt enemies in mid-air if your character has a staff/lightsabre/morning star while double-jumping). When navigating menus use to select something. B button: If your character has a blaster/crossbow/bow press this to shoot (hold it down to shoot continuously and use the control pad to change direction of fire). If your character has a staff/lightsabre/morning use this to attack (the longer you hold it down the more powerful the attack). With Luke hold B down to deflect bullets from hostiles. Acts as a cancel button in menus. Control Pad: Use left and right to move in those direction and use down to crouch. Use up and down to navigate menus. Start: Pauses game in mid-play or skips cut-scene. Select: Navigate the main menu. Speeder Bike Controls --------------------- A button: No function. B button: Shoot. Control Pad: Move the bike up, down, left and right. Start: Pauses game in mid-play or skips cut-scene. Select: No function. Millenium Falcon Controls ------------------------- A button: Accelerate. B button: Shoot. Control Pad: Use left and right to move in those directions and use up and down to change the height of the falcon and avoid obstacles (there are three degrees of height). Start: Pauses game in mid-play or skips cut-scene. Select: No function. --b. Characters-- There are a total of five characters in the game, and I've put together a profile for each one: Name: Luke Description: The hero of the Star Wars trilogy, Luke is actually Leia's brother, though he doesn't know it at the beginning of the movie. He's also a good pilot and a strong Jedi Knight. Weapon: Lightsabre Levels available in: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 Name: Han Description: This cocky ex-smuggler is in love with Leia and is frozen in carbonite at the beginning of the game, and you have to rescue him from Jabba's clutches. He hardly appears in the game despite being the best character in the trilogy. Weapon: Blaster Levels available in: 6 Name: Leia Description: This princess of the rebel alliance is available in many costumes, and she's one of the best characters in the game. She falls in love with Han and helps Luke rescue him from Jabba's palace, but gets made a slave. Weapon: (Boushh) Staff (Slave) Morning Star Levels available in: (Boushh) 1, 2 (Slave) 3 (Herself) 4 Name: Chewbacca Description: This loveable native of Kashyyyk is available to play with, and he has the most powerful long range weapon (even if he's a little unathletic). He's Han's partner and co-pilot, and is therefore very loyal to the one-time smuggler. Weapon: Crossbow Levels available in: 1, 2, 3, 6 Name: Wicket the Ewok Description: A cute member of the Ewok race of furry creatures, Wicket makes friends with Leia and as a result his tribe helps the alliance. You get to use him in his own village fighting imperial forces. Weapon: Bow Levels available in: 5 Other Characters: Lando Calrissian: He doesn't do anything, but it's as him that you'll fly the Millenium Falcon in the last two missions. Nien Numbo: He's your co-pilot for the two Millenium Falcon missions. Darth Vader: He's an evil Sith Lord who's also Luke's father turned bad. In this game you get to kill him. Emperor Palpatine: The big bad guy at the head of the empire. You get to kill him too, but beware of his dark side lightning attack that doesn't look as cool as in the movie but is just as deadly. R2D2: It isn't playable, but you'll find the little droid scattered around the levels. Walk into it and it'll act as a checkpoint, so when you die you'll return there. Jabba the Hutt: This evil crime lord has had Han Solo captured and put his frozen body on his central-chamber wall as a decoration. As Luke and Leia you have to punish him for his crimes. Boba Fett: The son of Jango Fett, this renowned bounty hunter chases Han in Episode 5 and gives him to the empire who freeze him in carbonite. In this game you have to kill him. =============================================================================== 5. Walkthrough /-----------------------------------------+*\------/* \-----------------------------------------+*/------\* =============================================================================== --a. Tatooine-- Cutscene: VADER: Commander, I hope fo your sake the new Death Star will be completed by the time the Emperor arrives. He is not as forgiving as I am. ADMIRAL: Yes, Lord Vader. We shall double our efforts. Meanwhile, on Luke's home planet Tatooine, the mysterious bounty hunter Boushh races towards Jabba the Hutt's palace. Selectable characters: Luke, Chewie and Leia-Boushh. Leia-Boushh/Luke Walkthrough: As soon as you start run forward and kill the plant with a few presses of B and kill the bantha a little further on. When the hill starts sloping, jump onto the first rock and kill the jawa on the second. Come up to the flat rock where four geysers flare at intervals out of the ground. Carefully negotiate them and kill the bantha that runs towards you. For the next slope simply double-jump forwards to avoid it altogether. Kill the worm and double jump heading downwards, avoiding the avian that swoops at you. Here you'll find a hedgehog and a hidden worm thing. Leave the worm alone but kill the hedgehog and the dog a little further on. You'll come to a slope with another avian to avoid and many geysers. Again double-jump down it into Artoo who takes you to the next area. Allow yourslef to fall off the ledge and steer to the left to land on the rock with an extra life on it. Now fall straight down to two jawas who you should dispose of before negotiating a series of rock platforms with plants on them. Follow the rock-ledges until you come to a cave in which you should avoid falling stalagtites and geysers. There's another cave soon after with a couple of enemies before a slope with a bantha at the bottom which leads to an upwards slope. From here you'll reach a lot of stones in mid-air which you should ignore and run to the edge. Jump across the stones (killing the jawas/plants that threaten you) and go upwards. Eventually you'll reach a ledge with a building in the background and a dog and avian to greet you. Kill them and get the heart then exit the level. Leia-Boushh/Luke Boss Walkthrough: Door Guard This is quite a hard boss considering it's only level 1. When it pops out of the holes in the gate double-jump-attack it, then hit it again when it hits the ground. Repeat until it dies (the meter at the bottom tells you how much life it has left). When it shoots lightening stay out of its way until it retreats and wait for another opportunity. Chewie Walkthrough: If you chose Chewie it's going to be a rougher ride because he isn't very agile and his crossbow is useless at close range. At the start jump over the plant/bantha and onto the rocks. From the second rock double-jump onto the rock above the slope and make your way to to the area with a plant and a power boost. Shot the plant and carefully jump over the geysers and the bantha. Allow yourself to fall to the hedgehog platform avoiding the avian. Just jump over all the hostiles and double-jump down the slope to avoid the geysers and walk straight into the faithful droid R2D2 who demonstrates his loyalty by taking you to an area where there are fresh enemies who will no doubt kill you. Thanks, Artoo. Fall down-left to collect the extra life and shoot the plant on the opposite platform from here. Jump up to the big ledge with the first of a series of caves on it. In th cave you'll need to avoid the falling stalagtites and geysers and jump over the jawas. Run up the next slope, jumping over the plants and geysers standing in your way. You'll come to an area with buildings (Jabba's palace? Moisture farms? Mos Eisly?) and enemies who you should give the "jump over" treatment. Jump the next mid-air rocks to get to another building ledge with some jawas and things. Now jump the last few rocks and exit the level after killing the dog for a heart on the last small building ledge. Chewie Boss Walkthrough: Door Guard I really can't recommend taking on this boss with the Wookie but if you must be sure to stay to one side and try to hit it when it comes out while dodging the falling roacks. It really is making life difficult if you use him. ***Level complete!*** New code: SNKMTD --b. Jabba's Palace-- Selectable Characters: Luke, Chewie and Leia-Boushh. Leia Boushh/Luke/Chewie Walkthrough: Wait in front of the falling iron thing then jump over it. Hack the frog thing until it dies then kill the jawa up ahead and collect the powerup. Kill Salacious Crumb before he jumps upwards (with Chewie stand at a distance). In the next area you'll encountera pig guard who shoots at you so deflect with B or jump to avoid it. Hack him and the bounty hunter behind him. Once agian kill Salacious Crumb, and go to the next area to kill the jawa (stand on the stool and aim downwards with Chewie) while being careful to avoid the pit. From here onwards you'll face several more similar areas which are all pretty easy, so it's difficult to write a varied guide for them. Just make sure that in Jedi mode you deflect until the enemies reach you with Luke/Leia-Boushh and keep your distance and shoot with Chewie. When a new area starts with a pig guard and the alien pop group in the background, you'll know you're nearly there. Get the big heart in the pit by jumping into the middle then IMMEDIATELY jump off again. Do this after killing pig guard no.2 to save unnecessary damage. In the final two short areas you face a toad and three dancing slaves - no threat with Leia/Luke but you might want to stand on the ledges and shoot downwards with Chewie. In front of Jabba you'll face Salacious Crumb for the last time over a big pit. My advice is to deflect his bullets back into him rather than rashly running into the fray which will probably result in you falling into the pit. Leia Boushh/Luke/Chewie Mini-Boss Walkthrough: Bib Fortuna Walk forward when he's dead to face the sub-boss, Bib Fortuna. With Leia/Luke just go all out and he'll die easily, even on Jedi setting. Howver, it's a little harder with Chewie, and it'll take a little more skill and dodging tactics, plus you'll need to learn to shoot from the air. When Fortuna's dead walk to the Carbonite thing and Han falls at your feet. Cutscene: HAN: Who's there? I can't see. LEIA: Someone who loves you. HAN: Leia! LEIA: You have hibernation sickness. Your eyesight will return soon. JABBA: HO HO HO HAN: I recognise that laugh. LUKE: You will release Captain Solo to me Jabba. JABBA: There will be no bargain Jedi. LUKE: You'll regret this. JABBA: I'm sure. Luke Boss Walkthrough: Rancor Monster You can only fight the Rancor monster with Luke (because that's what happens in the movie). In easy and brave this is a simple matter of running up to the Rancor and hacking like crazy, but Jedi mode will take a little more skill. Go behind him, dodging the goop he spits and double-jump backwards, remembering that rocks fall from holes in the ceiling. Eventually you'll triumph. ***Level complete!*** New code: RWVJBC --c. Sail Barge-- Cutscene: Jabba's Sail Barge crosses the Dune Sea with Princess Leia and the droids on board. Selectable Characters: Luke, Chewie and Leia. Leia Walkthrough: Run forward and jump over the toad and up to the pipe from which barrels are appearing. You can destroy the barrels, but there are infinite so don't bother. Double jump down and you should be able to avoid both toads. Just run along this flat area, avoiding barrels and things that poke out of holes. Kill the pig guard for a heart. Here is a short area with pipes which leads to a big pit. Jump over it and collect the big heart and the powerup. Go in between the two enemies and hold B to swing round your morning star until they're both dead. Go to the pit and wait for the platform to come down. Jump onto it then up to the ledge where a bounty hunter awaits the cold steel of your morning star. Jump up to the right to find three enemies who can easily be eliminated. Jump upwards to find a corridor containing a full heart and a powerup. Allow yourself to fall down several ledges to come across a life. You'll be by the pit again, so jump up and this time go to the left. Use a small platform to get to a new corridor. It is probably easiest to clear this enemy infested area by double jumping along it and taking off as soon as you land. You'll come to a pyramid of barrels. Go up to the second-from-the-top to hack away at the guard unharmed. Go down to find artoo and the checkpoint. Go back up the pyramid and use the platforms to get up, being wary of the people who pop out and shoot at you. Go right to find a spider you can kill with repeated presses of B and run along to an area with many turret guns which will kill you very quickly. To get past with minimal damage run underneath and double jump upwards beneath each gun to kill or hurt them. Jump over any spiders in your way. At the end of this section is a raised platform with a spider on it. Double jump from underneath to destroy it. Your health is probably quite low now, so go to the thin section of the platform and crouch with down. Hold B until the section breaks away and collect the full health heart beneath. Now run forward and avoid the final enemy to preserve your health. You'll get to a long strip with nothing on it then Boba Fett will appear. Leia Mini-Boss Walkthrough: Boba Fett Press B straight away to hurt Fett and he'll fly up. Just wait for him to come down again then hack away at him, but make sure you're standing next to him, NOT in him which will result in the loss of life you'll need for the boss. Continue like this until he's dead, which really is very easy, even in Jedi mode. Tip: You'll probably find it helpful to crouch when he's next to you, as his bullets will fly over your head. Leia Boss Walkthrough: Jabba the Hutt Double jump over Jabba, and try to hurt him as you do. Now stay here on his right and hack away with B, until little frogs he spits out come to you. Carefully destroy these and after about thirty seconds Jabba will be no more. Luke Walkthrough: Luke's lightsabre is so powerful that this level is really easy, and it is really not necessary to describe how to kill the enemies - for the most part charging in and pressing B a lot will suffice. At the start use a cheap tactic: charge down the corridor double-jumping and jump over the pit at the end and you'll have done a quarter of the level very easily. You'll be low on life though, so on this side of the pit cleave through the guard and the bounty hunter then collect the powerup and the heart. Now use the platforms on the pit to go upwards, and hold B while facing left to deflect laser sent at you by a bounty hunter back into him. Jump up to the right to find three enemies who can easily be eliminated. Jump upwards to find a corridor containing a full heart and a powerup. Allow yourself to fall down several ledges to come across a life. You'll be by the pit again, so jump up and this time go to the left. Here jump over the pipes, and hold B to send a barrel back into a bounty hunter to kill two birds with one stone. Don't jump much, because Luke's powerful Jedi jump makes you hit goop on the ceiling which hurts you. The only threats you face are two dancing slaves and a pig guard. The big problem here is barrels - if you jump to avoid them you get hurt, if you stay on the ground you get hurt. To overcome this dilemna hold B to deflect barrels back with no damage to your life meter. When you get to the pyramid jump up, kill the guy and walk into R2D2. Go to the top of the pyramid and use the platforms to get up. Hold B to deflect laser bolts back into the enemies then at the top run to the right and keep going. Stay on the ground until you come to a platform with a spider on it. Kill the spider and run to the weak section in the floor. Crouch and hack away to fall into a secret area with a much-needed full health heart which makes up for your seemingly suicidal run just now. Go over to where Boba Fett awaits. Luke Mini-Boss Walkthrough: Boba Fett Boba is easy - just stand next to him and hold B to deflect bolts back into him, and when he jumps into the air double jump up to damage him. He dies really quickly, as Luke is the best character to choose for this level. Luke Boss Walkthrough: Jabba the Hutt As with Leia, stay on the right side of Jabba (no pun intended) and hack away. When he launches frogs at you crouch and hack them to damage both them and Jabba. Cutscene: Luke, Han, Chewie and Leia race to the forest moon on Endor. They must destroy the Shield Generator that protects the new Death Star. ***Level complete!*** New code: TFGBMN --d. Speeder Bikes-- Cutscene: LUKE: Look! We must stop those scout bikers before they can warn the empire that we are here. Selectable characters: Luke and Leia Luke/Leia Walkthrough: Both Luke and Leia are the same in this mission - I can't even see a difference of appearance - so who you choose is a matter of personal preference in Star Wars characters. The mission is not one which lends itself to a walkthrough, so instead here are some tips. You have to kill twelve enemies, who fly up behind you. If you hit them, you take damage, but so do they. The cheap tactic is simply to knock them until they die. This is fine in Easy and just about works in Brave, but in Jedi this is not possible without dying. Instead, avoid them until they move on ahead then use your B lasers to shoot them. If they don't explode they will disappear for a while then come back firing at you. Dodge their bullets and finish them off. Be aware also of trees, which will either stand vertically anywhere in your way or lie horizontally. If you hit them you take damage, but so do the enemy scout troopers. You can also collect hearts to restore a little life, but they are often placed near trees in an attempt to lure you to the danger zone. When all twelve scout troopers die you will have completed another mission. ***Level complete!*** New code: HJMKPL --e. Endor-- Cutscene: LEIA: The empire is approaching. We need your help to stop them. Selectable characters: Wicket Wicket Walkthrough: You'll start off right next to some weird plant, so hold down B and blast away at it with your bow and arrow. Collect the heart and aim upwards. Shoot the dragon-thing there and jump over to the right side of the tree. Jump onto the moving ledge and allow it to transport you up to the next level. Ignore the enemies around you, as killing them will result in you being hurt even more. Just use the ledges around you to go up to a place with a plant on a very small ledge. Shoot it from beneath and jump up to it. Then jump over to the left and kill a hedgehog from beneath (now just don't let the RSPCA catch you! - only English people will understand this sad attempt at a joke). Ascend one more level and look to the far left of the tree. Mmmm, a tasty life. Collect it and run over to the bridge on the other side. Jump over the gaps and you'll arrive at another tree trunk with catterpillars on it. Shoot the first one then do an almighty SINGLE jump to the right and, as soon as you see another tree, double jump to land. Jump to the level above to find a full-health heart (you'll need it) and do a double-jump to another ledge with an artoo on it. Hit him and jump over the stormtrooper. Now just run right and a boss will appear. Wicket Boss Walkthrough: Speeder Bike Thing (?) I'm not quite sure what this is, but it looks a little like a speeder bike. It's hostile whatever it is. Stand there and blast it, and when it flies over you, duck. If it flies low double-jump over it. Either way, keep shooting it and even in Jedi mode, the boss will die easily. ***Level complete!*** New code: QGTHGD --f. Shield Generator-- Cutscene: Han, Chewie, and Leia enter the shield generator on Endor through a secret entrance. Selectable characters: Han and Chewie Han/Chewie Walkthrough: Here we go, this is the longest and probably hardest level in the game. Both Han and Chewie are of roughly equal ability, so the same wlakthrough will apply to both. Choose your favourite and get started (I recommend Han). As soon as it starts run forward into the lower part and aim diagonally upwards and destroy the gun. Jump up and run forwards. Once again, here you must stand in the lower part and shoot diagonally upwards to destroy both weapons. After some platforms and another gun you'll come to a door. Be careful not to stand in front of it. A stormtrooper will soon walk out (read carefully how to kill him, so in future I won't need to explain). Stand back and hold down B to shoot continually at him. When you hear "Piaw" and see a dot racing across the screen towards you, duck. Repeat this until it dies. Note that the same applies when you are fighting two shooting enemies, only it's harder. It is often a lot easier to run from these enemies; just jump over them. Also, don't hang around for too long near these doors as more enemies appear soon. Continue and you'll come to a funnel shaped floor with a thin partition. Walk onto it and it will open, causing you to fall below. Run past the soldier here and jump of at the end of the platform, bearing in mind that there is a gun at the end. Fall through the floor again and you'll come to a series of platforms and grenade launchers. You can navigate these easily, so when you reach the bottom, quickly go left. Duck and destroy the big gun emplacement and collect the full health heart behind it. Fall down and you'll come to another platform, this time with two troopers on it. Kill them and jump off the edge. You'll come to an area with two grenade launchers and an enemy. Collect the thermal detonator on the right and use it to dispatch them (A+B). Run past the opening and closing door to a series of platforms that you should use to lower you to the next floor. Here is another door and a grenade launcher. Run quickly past them and jump over the large pit with the heart over it. On the other side kill the two troopers (you're bound to get hurt - don't worry). Jump onto the platform on the right when they're dead then jump up to the next one. It takes a little practice, and you may fall off a few times, in which case you should aim left to get back onto the first platform again. If your timing is right you'll make it to the top. Jump off on the right to reach a slope. Keep running here or you'll fall off. At the top is a trooper and a grenade launcher. Deal with these threats accordingly and go to the end of the corridor. Here you will find R2D2. Just walk into him for a checkpoint. Now you'll find that there is an open area, which is clearer than before. Jump onto the first platform, then the second and third. Jump off onto large platform with two guards. Jump over them and up to a higher level (you may get hurt by a grenade launcher there). Avoid the door and wait until you find another platform which leads down. This area is swarming with enemies, and you'd be well advised to avoid them completely and run to a shaft that leads downwards, picking up a star that deals damage along the way. Down here you'll _have_ to kill the two stormtroopers, but the star will make that easy. When they're dead stand to the left or right of the blocks in the floor and shoot south-west/east to destroy them. Fall through the hole you made and you'll come to a new area. Press and hold down to see below you and you'll notice a plaform and a rotating gun. There are many of these in this section, and I recommend that you don't waste time shooting them. Try to dodge their bullets using a combination of ducking and jumping. Follow the arrows and fall down, double jumping in mid-air and landing on the next platform. When you're near enough go right to the next one then off to the right on a large block. From here double-jump across the gap to another block then take the platform. It leads upwards to the next one, from which you should go left to another block. Jump left to another moving platform, with a heart opposite you (you'll need it!). Use the platform to get up to another which leads up to _another_ (you may be getting bored of this). Jump off to a block on the left or right then leap onto a tiny platform which takes you yet further up. Jump up and you'll find yourself on a platform with artoo and a guard. Walk into the faithful droid and then take the elevator (press up next to the door). At the top shoot another guard and run across the platform on which a gun and a trooper await. Take the next elevator and get the power boost you find at the top. Go left to the next elevator, dodging _three_ guards (*sigh*), and take it up. Run right, and jump over a further three guards to the next door. Crouch and shoot the grenade launcher before riding the elevator down. At the bottom you'll have to run across another platform on the left, which is defended by two guards and a grenade launcher. At the end is artoo and another checkpoint. Now fall down off the left side and you'll land on a block. Take the moving platform down to another one revolving around a turret gun. Jump off to the right onto another one then head down. Get off onto a block on the right and jump across the gap. Take the next moving platform then head down to the next. Finally, jump off to the right and ride the elevator to find a corridor swarming with enemies. It leads to the boss (phew!) Han/Chewie Boss Walkthrough: Shield Generator A very hard level concludes with a very hard boss. There is very little to say, other than that this guy (machine?) takes a lot of blaster shots. You're on a moving platform, and bomb things are being launched at you like there's no tomorrow. Shoot the centre of the generator enough and it'll die. (*Plays Fanfare*). ***Level complete!*** New code: PSVZKL --g. Death Star-- Cutscene: LUKE: Leia, I must face Vader. LEIA: But why must you confront him? He is evil. LUKE: He is my father. I can feel the good in him. I must try to turn him away from the dark side. If I fail you are the only hope for the Alliance. You are my sister. In time you will learn to use the force as I have. Selectable characters: Luke Luke Walkthrough: As soon as you start a trooper will run towards you, so take him down. A little further on a droid and another guard will confront you; use deflect to take them out. At the end of the passage is a gun. Jump over the pit (there's another gun the other side) and prepare to face the big gun. Deflect and destroy it then use the platforms to ascend to the next level (be careful; they fall beneath your feet after a second or two). They reappear afterwards, so you can get the heart at the top, fall back down then go back up again. At the top is a grenade launcher lobbing the black pineapples at you. Destroy it and kill the droid up ahead across the pit. You'll meet you're first Imperial Pilot here. They weild powerful guns, and the safest way to survive is to deflect back their bullets. Another awaits a few footsteps further, followed by a pit. Jump over it, destroy the gun on the way then jump over the next one. A small turret is at the edge of the next platform; dodge it and move on. You'll come to a large pit which will test your jumping techniques (I don't remember the Death Star containing large bottomless pits in the movie). Jump and let yourself fall then double-jump. On the other side confront the guard and destroy the tiny gun. Again use the platforms to get to the top, where artoo detoo awaits. Walk into it for a checkpoint. See above you? There is another set of platfroms to ascend. Jump up now, _after_ activating the checkpoint. This way you can collect the heart at the top as many times as necessary. You'll come to a large pit, which you should not drop into yet. Jump over it and kill the guard in the turret the other side. A floating droid will confront you further on, backed up by another guard-turret. Another two await along the corridor, as well as an Imperial Pilot and a sentry gun. Collect the life here, then return to the pit and drop down it. At the bottom on the right is an attack star. Collect it and use it on the six enemies guarding this corridor, including guard-turrets, Imperial Pilots and droids. Ascend using the platforms and again use artoo to give you a checkpoint. Climb the platforms above your head for a powerup. Go left along the platform and jump to the next one. Here you will meet a mini-boss. Luke Mini-Boss Walkthrough: Death Star Droid (?) You have to fight this droid on a platform and my advice to you is to stand next to where you first meet it (on the left). When it comes to rest, deflect its bullets then hack it. When it flies onto the other side stay put but deflect its bullets. It will soon die, leaving you a full heart and a boss to face (jump to the next platform). Luke Boss Walkthrough: Darth Vader Finally you get to confront your father! The battle is nothing like in the movie but is nonetheless very difficult. Whatever you do, stay well clear of his lightsabre. Keep double jumping and landing next to him, attempting to damage him in the process. When he jumps, try to guess where he will land, stand there and hack away when he does. It's not easy, as he kills you very quickly. Good luck! ***Level complete*** New code: SFPYSW --h. Throne Room-- Cutscene: EMPEROR: Good, good. You are indeed powerful. Now finish him and take your father's place at my side. LUKE: No! I'll never turn to the dark side. I am a Jedi like my father before me. EMPEROR: So be it. If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed. Selectable characters: Luke Luke Walkthrough: Immediately jump over the door in front of you, as a trooper will come out of it. Kill him and collect the thermal detonator. Go up to the next platform and wait until both doors in front are open then use the bomb to kill all three enemies at once. Double-jump down and an imperial guard appears. He uses some weird flame attack, so just dodge him and he'll disappear (you can't kill him). You must hit him once for him to go away. Moving on you must confront (meaning: jump over) two more stormtroopers on your way to the elevator. Wait until you see a small thin line appear in the hazy column then double jump with all your might to the platform that passes for an elevator. It can be hard and may take a few tries, but get used to it as all the elevators in the level are like this. Move left along the next floor, jumoing over all obstacles (such as the two stormtroopers and the robot). When you come to more raised platforms jump up to a door then run past quickly, as a stormtrooper coming out will almost certainly hurt you. Jump past a further three troopers and ride the elevator up to the next floor, where you should activate artoo for a checkpoint. Go forward and jump up the platforms to get over the high illuminated wall at the far right. From there go left along the platforms, watching out for many single doors which can really trap you when you're caught unawares. Take the elevator upstairs, where there is another checkpoint. Run right along the screen, using higher sections of ground to boycott the stormtroopers below. When you come to an illuminated wall jump onto the platforms on the left leading up-left. Many of these are single platform-doors, so you'll need to quickly jump to the next place. When you reach the highest point go down-left and eliminate the robot guarding a life. Go back right to the wall and jump over it. Take the elevator up. Activate thios checkpoint and go left along the corridor. You really have to be sharp with your jumping here as the stormtroopers are out in force (5+ running after you at the same time!) and more join in from behind doors. Run as far left as you can then wait for the elevator to descend. Ride the elevator up and get the last checkpoint in the level. You'll need to conserve life here so really make use of elevated points above the floor to dodge guards. When the screen stops momentarily a mini-boss will appear. Luke Mini-Boss Walkthrough: Death Star Droid (?) This is the same droid as you fought in the previous level, so beating it shouldn't be too hard. Just deflect his bullets and hack when he come near you (see previous walkthrough for more details). Collect the recovery heart he leaves you. Luke Mini-Boss Walkthrough: Imperial Guard Immediately after killing the droid you'll be confronted by a guard who is more mobile than any boss so far. His attack pattern is to launch a fireball at you then run to the other side of the screen. Just jump over his flames and hack him before he moves again. Lose as little life as possible here as you have to fight the emperor next. Luke Boss Walkthrough: Emperor Palpatine Aside from having cool music, the Emperor is the hardest and most annoying boss in the game. He can fly (eh? that never happened in the movie!) and launches that blue lightning at you, which takes off masses of life. The key is to continuously double-jump then move in for a quick swipe when he momentarily slows down. It's hard, but how easy you fight him is basically a matter of skill and cannot be explained in words. ***Level complete*** New code: CGGYQM --i. Death Star Attack-- Cutscene: The Shield Generator is down! Lando Calrissian and Nien Numb enter the Death Star in the Millenium Falcon. Selectable characters: Lando Calrissian (I think that's how you spell it) Walkthrough: This is the first of the game's two flying missions. They are not that easy, but that is the fault of the control system. Learn which terrain on the floor of the Death Star central core requires what degree of elevation (of which there are three - see controls). I won't tell you to move up down, as the FAQ would be a megabyte long - I'll just tell you what direction to take etc. Carefully navigate under the pipe and through the first narrow gap you come to. Make sure to get one of the two hearts and keep to the right so you can destroy the TIE fighter that comes in from the left. Up ahead there is a full heart, which leads to a low wall then a high wall (negotiate these accordingly) which end in a passage filled with turret guns. Don't bother destroying these; just dodge their fire until you've got past. There is another low wall then a heart behind it which you'll probably need. Take the right path at the fork, but be quick or you'll crash. There is a series of three low hurdles on the left, right and left of the passage so be on your toes. When the screen widens again you'll be in a large corridor full of hearts. Take advantage of this section to max out your life. You'll soon come to a very large central area. The TIEs may harrass you here; if that's the case, roll quickly to the left or right until they're in front then open fire. Also watch out for turrets on the walls. You will soon reach another fork. I recommend going left, but if you want a full heart you can negotiate the difficult right path which involves a lot of quick movement in all directions. The path grows narrow then wide again. At the next inter- section you MUST take the right path - the left one leads to a dead end which will kill you (you can't turn around). There are two hurdles which lead to a pipe infested area, so be alert. When the path merges into one there is a wall with blocks behind it. As soon as you see this you must shoot like mad to destroy them before you reach there. The final strip here is a veritable nest of turrets, but hopefully you have enough life to reach the core. ***Level complete*** New code: KFGZXQ --j. Death Star Escape-- Cutscene: LANDO: Yee Ha! The Death Star is about to explode! We've got to escape quickly! Selectable characters: Lando Calrissian Walkthrough: This is very similar to the previous mission in that you're again flying the Millenium Falcon. However, you now have the added hindrance of having to hold down A (supposedly to accelerate, though I've noticed no change in speed). If you don't, the screen will be filled with explosions which hurt you. There are no TIEs to bother you at least. Duck under the bridge and fly through this pipe area. As soon as the screen widens go far right to take the right path. Get ready to ducj under a huge far-reaching pipe which fills the area. Fly forward then left when you come to a huge barrier. You must be very high to get over it. There is a small gap you must nimbly nip through and another hurdle which leads to two horizontal pipes. This leads to a large clearing with a protruding wall bang in the middle, ready to crush the unsuspecting. Go right as usual and follow the path. This is a pretty straightforward section with only a few twists and turns and small gaps to fly through. At this point a walkthrough is pretty useless, but I'll continue for the benefit of the really stuck. You come to a difficult turn very suddenly, where you must fly directly right from the first opportunity to fly through the tiniest gap in a large wall. The path becomes extremely predictable, with you having to fly to the left, right then left again. The path becomes very narrow, and you have to squeeze through a tiny gap at the end of it - one slight slip and you'll crash. There is another damned wall sticking out in the next area, avoid crashing on it at all costs. Go left down one final pipe-infested corridor and you'll escape just in time to see the Death Star explode! Now enjoy the ending (which 99% of the population know already). NOTE: You must finish the game in Jedi mode to get the full ending. ***Level complete*** =============================================================================== ******************************************************************************* ****Game Complete!**** ******************************************************************************* =============================================================================== 6.
